Part of events on ArtRabbit in: St Ives
The focus of Claire’s work is the exploration of her own physical experience. She is inspired by bodies, by the relationship between the outer and inner world; both the essential, innate, emotional experience of it, and it's throbbing, gritty physicality. Fascinated by the tension between physical space and environment, she draws inspiration from the constantly shifting dynamic of cold and heat, dry and wet, energetic and still. Her work communicates the sensual, flowing and layered nature of the world we exist in, blurring the boundary between self and the exterior. Claire's work is a response to this tactile, complex experience, an emotional exploration of experience and memory. Translating her experiences intuitively; familiar places become part remembered and also re-imagined. Form becomes ambiguous, with scale and colour being utilised to abstract the familiar. Images are cropped and layered, photos and sketches honed over weeks and months.
